I guess they don't. I would suggest not to mix text format with parsable content. It would be great to have the objectives in reST or Markdown hosted in a VCS. , But that would not provide the semantic information that you mentioned, such as paths, commands or variables. I would suggest to use JSON or YAML do store the objectives and build a readable document from there. Something like this would be cool: { "101": { "topic": { "name": "System Architecture", "code": "101", "subtopics": [ { "code": "101.1", "name": "Determine and configure hardware settings", "description": "Candidates should be able to determine and configure fundamental system hardware.", "weight": 2, "key_knowledge_areas": [ "Enable and disable integrated peripherals.", "Configure systems with or without external peripherals such as keyboards.", "Tools and utilities to manipulate USB devices" ], "terms_and_utilities": [ { "term": "/sys", "type": "path" }, { "term": "lsusb", "type": "command" } ] }, { "code": "101.2", "name": "Boot the system", "description": "Candidates should be able to guide the system through the booting process.", "weight": 3, "key_knowledge_areas": [ "Provide common commands to the boot loader and options to the kernel at boot time.", "Check boot events in the log files." ], "terms_and_utilities": [ { "term": "/var/log/messages", "type": "file" }, { "term": "BIOS", "type": "desc" } ] } ] } } } Regards, Miguel _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
